Waco, TEX, Dec. 26.-Jas. Nunley,
aliss Jas. Steagall, the boy charged with
roobing the Marlin postoffice, had sn ex-
aiming trial to-day before United States
Commissioner Finks. The evidence
showed that the boy had knack of
opening one of the lock boxes
next to the cash drawer
and by inserting his arm through was
able to open the drawer and rob it Of cash
and stamps. This was repeatedly done.
A watch was finally set for the thief and
marked 25-cent piece left IN the drawer.
The boy was watched and ar
rested Immediately after the theft
and the marked money taken
from him. He is fourteen years
old and rather small for his age, and has
rather On intelligent face. He has a wild
owed mother-Mrs. Steagall-living in
Marlin, whom he says he was aiding in
making living. Commissioner Finks
tempered justice with mercy and placed
him under 5000 bond. It is thought
his mother might be able to make that
bond for him.

TO sheck the Proposed Uaf friendly Leg
islation-Timely Advice Given.

COLUMBUS, ONO, Dec. 26.-Hon.
gesdmbus Delano, president of the Ma
tfonal Wool-Growers' Association, has
issued the following address:
MOUNT VERNON, OHIO, Dec. %. 1887.
TO the Wool Growers of the United States.
The statement fsvoring free trade in
this country has been augmented to the
extent of the Presidents influence, and in
announcing his sympathy with those who
do not encourage American indus
tries and domestic labor, the executive
has emphasized his contempt for your in
dustry by proposing to repeal ali duties
on imported woods. You number about
|, 600, 900 voters and give employment to
about 100000 more. Every state and
nearly every county in each state CT this
Union has focks and flockmasters. Your
f0cks generally are small, your wealth
limited snd your locations so scattered
as TO render organization and united &C.
ton difficult. Once the producers of
300,000,000 pounds of wool annually val
ued st about 500, 900, you have seen
the unfriendly legislation of 1888 check
your growth and actually reduce your
focks in number and your animal clip in
quantity TO tthe extent Of Is per cent.
These are the results of small reduc-
tion Of the protective duties. Now the
President proposes the abolition so that
South America and Australia, with other
foreign nations, can supply the con-
sumption of the sUnlted States spin
dies and looms. Officers Of your
national society desire to organize
resistance to this cruel attempt. In order
to secure It's defeat by active CONSOLE
dated resistance, advise that you petit
ton Congress freely from all parts OF
the country, send letters to Congressman
from every district, have each association
OF wool growers state the county, town
ship or town, pass and forward appropri-
ate resolutions, incite grangers or esso-
Citations of husbendmen to
unite their voices with yours in
urging Congress to promote the welfare
of agriculture, enfranchise men that free
men may obtain Justice and avoid op-
understand their wants. If you have not
large or consolidated wealth you have
to exercise wisely the power which this
privilege gives. The founders of our
country placed in the hands of its people
power to correct the errors OF those who
make or administer our laws without
instruction Or violence. The executive
has been misinformed. Remove the de-
ception and let him and the nation know
that you will not submit TO the proposed
injustice without 8 resolute struggle.

WOMAN'S SPHERE
Reply to Ella wheeler wilcox

To the Editor of the Gazette.
How glad we are to find woman who
has studied her sex from the only true
standpoint, (that OF brave and noble
womsn) and has dared to step forward
and offer such words of encouragement
as to inspire new hope and strength in
many " cary heart struggling and at
times almost yielding to the letters of
what seems 20 be an Inevitable fate. Far
above the poisonous influence Of envy she
strands beacon light, reckoning others
onward and upward, teaching them to
assist their own moral agency, and use
the God given power to the Advancement
Of their own interest and happiness. We
too believe that adverse circumstances
act upon some natures as the refiners fire,
bringing out and developing pure and
noble elements we might never have eX-
erted under any other test. And yet how
few of US would voluntarily pass through
the trying ordeal to prove our strength.
Is it to our credit when we acknowledge
that women surrounded by everything
necessary to make them hsppy seldom re-
qulre great strength Of character They
possess all that the heart naturally re-
quires and they are satisfied. Only those
driven to 1t by cruel necessity would ven
ture to stem the tide of public opinion in
search OF happiness. Thrown upon her
Own resources, woman must sink help
lessly and hopelessly beneath the bureens
OF her responsibilities, or rise superior to
them by the exercise Of the mental and
moral strength she possesses. She is told
that home is her sphere and man her
natural protector. But suppose she mas
no home, no father, no brother, no hus-
band? Then she must make her
home and be her own protector;
and why should she not be
allowed the best opportunity for the ct
tslament of that end? Suppose she Is
married wUmsD, and the dramshop has
robbed her OF home and husbands
protection? Clipging in despalring
agony to the fearful wreck, she will never
| let 60 her hold till grim want stalks in
and denies the common necessities OF
life Then, and not till then, will she
turn and combat the circumstances that
/ 6ave driven her to the last extremity.
| And if she is SO fortunate as 10 be sue
cessful in the choice of an occupation as
to acquire wealth and homsge by it, who
would be willing TO place themselves in
the same trying position?
For, oh! the pIice of bitter tears,
Paid for the lonely power,
Thst throws 1T last o'er desert years

MR. REED AND THE SPEAKER.
An Episode In the -House-Mr. Car
Isle Forced to a Satisfactory
Ruling.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-If Samuel j. Ran
dali has any plan Of sitting in his appropri-
ations committee Senator Hawley's bills car
rying S21, 100000 foi army and navy ordnance
and coast defence, he cannot help feeling
that the country must recognize just what
man and what party is responsible if these
measures fail. Tom Reed, on the spur of the
moment, this morning put the Speaker
through shorter csteehism, which did won-
ders In the way of making the situation
plain. After Democrat Holman had objected
to the immediate consideration of the bills
and Democrat Eden to fixing Monday for
their consideration, then reference Of the first
bill was ordered.
"To what committee, Mr.. Speaker" said
Reed.
ITO the appropriations" was the reply.
"And it is privileged matter that can be
reported upon immediately" continued the
willy querist, who knew just what he was
driving at.
The Speaker admitted the point impatient
ly, but Reed stuck to him until he had
Springer, Randall and others shaking their
fists at him and trying to shut him up, but
also not until the Speaker had ruled to the
House on both bills practically that, If they
were delayed or suppressed, his own party
was at fault. And so plainly did Reeds
shots hit the mark that Carlisle could not re-
fuse himself the parenthesis that he might
have been hasty, whereup0n Reed said if he
reversed his ruling, Of course he would allow
the House to do likewise if it chose. It.was
as clever bit af parliamentary inquiry as
ever was seen.
